Fans Lose It as James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Trailer Gets a Release Date, Years After Henry Cavill Exit Upset

The debate over how James Gunn will handle Superman

without Henry Cavill

has been building for quite some time. Cavill’s sudden removal from the role left many fans disheartened, but Gunn, best known for his work within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has managed to reignite interest. His fresh vision has stirred curiosity, and now, not only have expectations reached their highest point, but anticipation has also surged following a thrilling announcement regarding the upcoming Superman

trailer.

A huge electronic billboard in Times Square has revealed that the new Superman

trailer is dropping this Wednesday, May 14, 2025, along with a short teaser that will feature David Corenswet’s Superman

taking flight.

When a fan mentioned the idea of a “trailer 2.5,”

Gunn responded on the Thread by explaining that viewers have not yet seen the official first trailer—only a teaser and a brief preview have been shared so far.

In November 2024, James Gunn responded to criticism on Threads about DC’s focus on “niche characters”

like Sgt. Rock and Swamp Thing

, arguing that it was overlooking characters that could appeal to a wider audience. Gunn defended Swamp Thing’s

significance, highlighting his legendary comic, successful television show, and film series. Gunn also made it clear that Batman

and Superman’s

origin stories would not be retold. Now, the new trailer release date has sent waves across social media, generating even more excitement.
